11 points. This is the comfortable lead that Inter Milan enjoyed at the top of Serie A this Monday before the match against Udinese. Obviously, the meeting against the fifteenths of the Italian championship had something to look like a walk in the park. However, this opposition was more complicated than expected for the Nerazzurri. Indeed, despite a clear domination in the first period, Simone Inzaghi's men were surprised at the end of the first act. On a harmless cross from Lazar Samardzic, Carlos Augusto deflects the ball and deceives his own goalkeeper (0-1, 42nd). For a team that finished the first period with 23% possession, the feeling did not last after the locker room.

While the Brazilian defender thought he had corrected his mistake, his goal was ultimately disallowed for obvious offside. A few minutes later, the Milanese finally equalized thanks to a logical penalty converted by Hakan Calhanoglu, very lively today (1-1, 55th). And after creating fewer opportunities, Inter finally turned everything around at the end of the game with a late goal from Davide Frattesi. With this success down to the wire, their 26th in 31 matches this season, Lautaro Martinez's teammates are getting ever closer to the Scudetto and are now 14 points ahead of their closest pursuer, AC Milan. Udinese remains fifteenth and misses the great operation.
